Explaining Hurt that Only You Feel
I just love explaining big words in a way that's easy to understand.

So, you know how sometimes we might feel sad or happy, right? And maybe even a little bit of both at the same time? That's because our feelings can be different for each person. It's like if your friend fell over and skinned their knee – they would probably feel hurt and say "Ow!" But then you might see that scrape and think it's not too bad, or maybe even find it funny!

That's kind of what "subjective" means. Subjective feelings are like our personal opinions about how we're feeling inside. They can be different for each person. Like, if someone said they really liked the taste of broccoli (but you didn't!), that's subjective because it's their own opinion.

Now, let's talk about "pain". When we get hurt, like with a scrape or a bump, our bodies send us messages saying "Hey, something's not quite right!" That feeling is objective – we can see the cut or bruise, and everyone would agree that it's painful. But how much pain someone feels from a small scrape might be subjective because each person has their own way of feeling pain.

So, to make it super simple: "subjective" is like our personal feelings, thoughts, and opinions about things – they can vary from person to person. And "pain" can sometimes be objective (we can see the hurt), but how much we feel that pain might be subjective (it's just between you and your own body). Does that make sense?
